not sure yet, thinking of a school of monos, some bumble bee's, and maybe a couple of f8's but not sure on the f8's just yet. Any suggestions?

110 gallon tank for free?! Dang - I wish I could find something like that in my area. That's a lucky find! I'm quite insanely jealous.....as I'm on the prowl for a bigger tank (75-100 gals) to house a green spotted puffer or if I can find a bigger tank, a porcupine puffer. I LOVE the dogface puffers, but seeing that they require a HUGE tank, don't think that's entirely feasible (I don't think my floors could handle that type of weight).

For a 110 gallon - f-8's would be tiny (3 inches as an adult)! However, if you're sticking to brackish, f-8's would be the most logical species to put in there. If you wanted to go saltwater, I would suggest a green spotted (6 inches as an adult) as they require full marine as adults. So, as in brackish, f-8's sound good. How about a dragon goby? They're interesting species for brackish water, too.

Keep up on the updates - I'm really curious to see how it goes!

Started with the basic tank then built the frame work for the stand

Made the top



Then moved onto finishing the stand


Now the tank stand and canopy is complete.

When budget allows I will be working on the lighting system.
